I don't know how to do CONNECT connexions except for https, but I
gather it's a generic tunneling mechanism, and for sure I don't know
everything, esp about this, but I'd be every bit as suspicious about
that as you are.
I may be mistaken, but I /think/ CONNECT commands are used when
accessing the web through a proxy, so basically I /think/ somebody is
hoping to use you as a proxy which they can bounce traffic through
anonymously.
I have done proxy requests, in REXX, back in my OS/2 days. All I needed
to do was direct the request to the proxy, with the headers (including
HOST) for the eventual host.
No CONNECT.
